Re-Union with Lilly
Funny how distance can make relationships feel like a new experience after many months. Lily planned to visit with her kids for a Canadian vacation for our second meet up of the year. Knowing that it will be a challenge to have her alone to spend time together since all our kids will be home.…

Introductions to my wife
Over the years that we have been in the lifestyle (has it been for years already?) I have made a lot of new friends. Most of these women have met my wife. As well I have met majority of their spouses. I don’t think anything of it when introducing my new friends/lovers to my wife.…

Fantasy – less
I don’t have any fantasies. Well I did, when we first started. One evening during the first month that we opened up so long ago we talked about it. Saying to each other what we wanted to try or thought we would try. Within the first few years I did pretty much everything that I…

8 degrees of FWB
Since I started my blog I have done some topics that were brought up by other friends. Primarily related to the lifestyle have been some of those. My hope is that with me exposing the topic and working through what my thoughts about it are might allow the readers to open their mind to the thought.…
